Brain metastasis is an important issue in modern neurooncology. Our results of combined treatment of brain metastases are presented and available approaches to brain irradiation and chemotherapy are discussed. There is strong evidence to suggest that maximum combinations of approaches might improve treatment efficacy and extend median overall survival to as long as 6 months (p < or = 0.05).
